Unrelated to him dunking I wish he would take that beautiful jumper of his with more confidence o well that will come with time this kid can shoot the lights out. Glad he has been driving to the rim when he is struggling on his shot though.

I'd like to see him in the contest, but true dunkers like ross always lose to the gimicky dunkers. To win, he'd have to bust out a choir and a kia, take a two-ball lob from sonny weems over in Moscow and finish thru the legs with a superman cape on. while signing a 4 year, 40 million dollar extension

He's in a little bit of a shooting slump right now. It happens, i'm not too worried about it. He's a great shooter.

His jimmy is silk. His focus is off though, I noticed last night an awkward release as well.

I was saying to my buddy at the game last night how different it is when T Ross gets the ball in the open court (with guys around him) than DD. T Ross gets the look in his eye and you KNOW hes gonna dunk it. On his 2nd dunk last night .. someone (CJ Watson) was in front of him, but he just dribbled confidently, elevated and essentially said, "get the fuck outa the way" .. and threw it down. DD doesnt do that (not many guys in the league do). Vince certainly did. Hes not quite Vince .. but in this way, he does remind me of VC.

This is exactly what I've been thinking. He actually tries to dunk, and does it effortlessly just like Carter.

Derozan is much better at laying it in in traffic though. I like the fact that he is capable of those finishes, but agree that they also lessen his chances to get a foul because they involve more finesse than an aggressive dunk. The thing is, that just like derrick rose, if you can get tough layups to go in effortlessly and from impossible angles, then you can really dominate a game. Dunks are full of a lot more effort, and you cannot put up 20 points on dunks.

I'd like to see Ross bulk up more, then either can play SF (need) or SG, and be the wing duo we never had (looking at you, Carter, T-Mac, and to a lesser extent Weems)

That could work too but DeRozan needs to become an above average offensive and defensive wing player to be able to play the 3. Ross could pull it off since he's got long arms, hops, and a great shooting touch. Either could play the 3 i guess, time will tell

I'd love to keep him around for a while and see who turns out better between Ross and DeRozan. Then trade one for a position of need, win win situation

Or.... We move Demar Derozan to the small forward position (6'7, bulked up significantly), who would be very capable of playing at that position, and insert Ross at the 2 guard. That way, defensively these two can use their athleticism, and both could really play off one another. Ross from 3, while Derozan posts up? Lob from Ross to Derozan and vice versa? The potential of BOTH playing TOGETHER is crazy...
